Construction and/or Creation of Online Content

The reading of, Construction and/or Creation of Online Content by W. Ian O'Byrne, talked about online reading comprehension and online content construction. After explaining what these two are, O'Byrne goes on to explain the difference between the two. Online reading comprehension (ORC) is explained as the act of "producing content or causing the content to exist" as Online content construction is the "building or the assembly of an infrastructure or the creation/construction of the content." O'Byrne says ORC has the elements of "communication" identified as one of the last skills students need and OCC fills in the void O'Byrne sees concerning the creativity, composition, and design skills that students need. Using these skills, students would be able to keep up with online learning and understand how to use these skills when building or creating their own ideas/content on the Internet.
